Science Density Flashcard

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing mass by volume.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

density = mass / volume

Front

Which liquid has the least density: Water, Glycerine, Corn Oil, Corn Syrup?

Back

Corn Oil has the least density.

Front

What does volume measure?

Back

Volume measures how much space an object takes up.

Front

Which substance is the most dense: A, B, C?

Back

Substance B is the most dense.

Front

What can we say about the density of lamp oil, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil?

Back

The density of lamp oil, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil is less than 1.0 g/mL.

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 2 mL, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10 grams / 2 mL = 5 g/mL.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains the same?

Back

The density of the object increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains the same?

Back

The density of the object decreases.

Front

Is it possible for two objects to have the same volume but different densities?

Back

Yes, two objects can have the same volume but different densities if their masses are different.
